    powdered paint pigment

    I was reading some time ago in muzzle blasts about adding powdered paint pigment to slow dry two part epoxy to fill in any small inletting gaps. Does any one out there know where I can get some and could use some more info on how to go about using it. Thanks.

    Naval jelly, gray finish and. . .

    It is probably a cheap carbon steel, try a little LMF brown on it and if it rusts it is not chromed, and then you can take off the rust with a fine wire wheel jacked in your drill or use some BWC rust and blue remover. There are tons of ways to put a grayish patina on carbon steel. All of the...

    Naval jelly, gray finish and. . .

    Another idea, that I use on my knives and bright white gun parts to give them an "I've been around awhile appearance is to give the metal a coat of LMF rust brown, then take it off with BWC rust and blue remover. Hit it in a few spots with 4F steel wool. Kind of gives steel a nice patina IMHO.

    JP Gunstocks....

    Wow that is a nice rifle! That isn't the Hatfield type rifle that Pedrosli does now is it? I had one of the originals and it did not look anywhere as nice as that one. If it is could you tell me where I might get one like that.Thanks

    B weight 50 cal. loads

    Nice rifle Zonie, I do not think that Rice makes unsafe barrels,especially after all the info I got from you guys. And a I tried to explain to Dave the cut was cut too deep and that was MY FAULT. I mean no disrespect to any of you guys, that is why I ask so many questions.Again NO DISRESPECT...

    B weight 50 cal. loads

    HI Mike, Ya I know, my mother and my wife used to say the same thing. You are probably right,Hey maybe I should send the barrel to you and have you proof it for me if the guys at Rice say it is unsafe LOL.I will let you know what they tell me and if it is bad news well who knows? :idunno: But...

    B weight 50 cal. loads

    Hi 54 Ball, Ya I wish now that I would have gotten that barrel in 45 Cal., it would have given me a little more room to spare, the kit came with the lug and front sight mortises already cut, but on the front sight I got a bit too aggressive and cut one corner way too deep. Any ways if the people...

    B weight 50 cal. loads

    HI again Mike, What you said about most of the pressure being spent around the first 12" is true enough, but I will expose myself here with a little embarrassment to my self. I am definitely a rookie when it comes to rifle building and the point I am most concerned about is the sight that was...

    B weight 50 cal. loads

    HI Mike, If this is the Mike Brooks that is a well known builder, I would like to here more. The waist I believe is is .750 and with the barrel having 4 lugs pre inlet and a sight with a .625 base, well you can do the math and that leaves a net total of no error in the inletting of your dove...

    B weight 50 cal. loads

Thanks Freeloader

    Kits/component sets

    Dave, you used these loads in a B weight 50 cal barrel? How many times did you shoot it with 90 grs.? And how well did your deer go down with 75 grs. and what distance did you take them at. Would you feel comfortable out to 100 yrds. taking a deer sized animal with this load? Hope you answer...

    The Mountain man and Hugh Glass DVD's?

    Can any one tell me where I might get copies of the mountain men with C. Heston? And the Hugh Glass story or I think it was. I saw it back in the 70's and not into muzzle loading at the time I am not sure if it was the Hugh Glass story or another, although I do remember I was riveted to the movie.

    Jeremiah Johnson.....

    The time period I believe was the late 40's after the fur trade, and I believe cap lock rifles were well accepted by that time. Carson, Madena, and from what I understand Jim Bridger owned a Hawken in his later times in the Rockies.

    Muzzle Blasts cover May 2010

    I agree, great painting, my only question is that I am not sure that is a pull over, it looks more like an open front hunting shirt. I too would like to have one like it, or one like Mark Bakers or curry's. I wrote recently in the clothing section about long hunter shirts and nobody suggested a...

    In response to billd,DaveK and Birddog6 since all of you guys have used 50 cal. B weight barrels, could you please tell me what target loads you are currently using? My 50's seem to prefer 3F and the statement that came with the kit said do not use this, only 2F. Birddog6 the reason there is a...
